Life begins at 40! (or carries on and becomes more fabulous)

I am a child-free career woman in a committed relationship, living in Joburg, South Africa.
I turned 40 this year and I feel manically compelled to make all sorts of changes in my life, starting with the extra weight I have put on in the past few years. I was a total gym bunny in my twenties but I need to reform all the habits I lost in the past decade and build some new ones as I was never very good at doing things the healthy way. I tend to go to extremes.
This is my third day on MFP and I have a good feeling about all of this. I would love to chat and exchange ideas, particularly with others in my age range and if they were from my continent that would be an added bonus (but certainly not compulsory). I am a good cheerleader and I love to blog, so looking forward to being an active member of this community.

Welcome aboard!!!! I am a working wife and mother of 1 living in Moore, OK. I too will be turning 40 this year, and I'm in the best condition I've been in for a long time and I'm LOVING IT!!!! I was always active, but never healthy (if that makes sense). I have lost a total of 10 pounds since Jan. 5th and I have about 15-20 more to go. I'm learning new things all of the time, and I've finally gotten to the point to where I miss it when I can't work out.0
